Scanpan Ceramic Titanium CTXÿNonstick Cookware

This line has brushed steel handles and is constructed from 5 layers of metal. It has a cast aluminum exterior and nonstick finish that doesn't contain PTFE. While the finish surface provides an advantage over an untreated pan, it's not as slick as cookware made with traditional nonstick coatings. Although saucepots simmered steadily, the mediocre nonstick properties make it hard to justify the price.
